Course Summary

The LLM in Law offered by the University of Bolton's School of Law is suitable for law graduates, non-law graduates, and practicing lawyers. Our challenging but supportive environment gives you the chance to acquire postgraduate legal skills from a team of tutors with specialist knowledge and close links to the legal profession. You'll have the opportunity to explore the law's key themes and focus your studies on personal and professional interest areas, ranging from corporate and finance law to employment law, intellectual property law, European law, and international law. This LLM offers intellectually-stimulating course content underpinned by internationally recognised research. By the end of the course, you'll have had the opportunity to develop key transferable skills that are in demand in both legal and non-legal careers worldwide. This course is not designed for people looking to become a solicitor or barrister. If you wish to practice law, please consider our LLB (Hons) Law or Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE) courses.

Modules

This module provides candidates with the opportunity to undertake an extended and substantial piece of research; to synthesise the academic knowledge acquired from LLM modules and to produce an evaluative and critical discussion of salient issues relevant to the subject stream with which candidates wish to graduate. The dissertation follows the completion of the research methods module, which is a prerequisite for commencement of the dissertation. Following receipt of feedback from the second research methods assignment, you will improve the initial three chapters and in conjunction with your supervisor?s guidance, you will then undertake the data gathering either by fieldwork or desk research or some combination of both, evaluate and synthesise the findings and present them clearly.
